Alright, made it back home in time to finish my listening sessions for the week and here I am putting this post together before calling it a day!
Without any more delays, here we go:
First Place.-
https://steemit.com/openmic/@graemesaxton/steemit-open-mic-week-128-so-long-original-graemesaxton
As a singer songwriter, this is precisely the kind of little treasures that I truly enjoy finding on this competition. Nothing as powerful as a song with just a couple of chords and a whole lot of truth.
Second Place.-
https://steemit.com/openmic/@tarotbyfergus/steemit-open-mic-week-128-old-man-winter-original
Well Tarot just wrote an anthem for everyone that it's pissed of the fact that winter this year was specially brutal in some parts of the country. Brilliant lyrics!
Third Place.-
Fourth Place.-
https://steemit.com/openmic/@montanacellist/steemit-open-mic-week-128-regression-dream-theater-cover
Wow it's been a while since I've heard anyone attempting to do Dream Theater, so this was a crazy little surprise. I mean, DT is not the easiest of bands to cover, but this performance worked absolutely great.
Fifth Place.-
https://steemit.com/dtube/@coruscate/5nozr0cg
The lovely Coruscate at it again. Well, there is not a whole lot I can say that has not been said before about this charming lady. I think she knows I'm a fan by now.
Honorable Mentions
In no particular order, these are some of the performances I loved this week.... I'm super grateful for being someone who gets to listen to this talent.

As always, I would like to express my gratitude to the different leaders and witnesses on this platform that have been supporting the @openmic contest. In no particular order:
If you love this contest, and you would like to keep it going, you could do so by supporting the witnesses that make it happen.
Don't forget to checkout the official Steemit OpenMic judges picks from @krystle @soundlegion and @verbal-d. Winners selected and announced every Monday on @luzcypher's blog page.
Long live the openmic!!!
And that is it for me and week #128 - A little later than last week, but showed up to work!!!!
But hey friend, before you leave my post musical brother or musical sister, please know that despite the fact that we call this a competition, even though my post says first, second, third place, that is not what matters about the #openmic. In the end of the day the judges are just as human, as flawed and beautiful as everyone else on this planet. The ethos of this contest, of this community, is simply for us to have special place to share our passion for music, for us to laugh together, to cry together and explore emotions that everyday life seems to neglect in one way or another.
Every single one of you is valuable to me, so thank you for being part of my musical family...
Much love
Thanks for all you do for the open mic community, @meno!
This really is the coolest part of Steemit, and open mic is what has kept me on this platform the whole time.
